THE STORY, IN BRIEF
Reporting from Design Week Lagos for Art Report Africa, Chibuzo Emmanuel examined an exhibition spanning furniture, textiles and visual art alongside a tribute to Demas Nwoko. Discussions involving Mpho Matsipa, Myles Igwebuike, Victor Ekpuk and other practitioners shifted attention from overseas recognition toward local institutions, collecting and preservation. The article situated contemporary design within African histories and the practical structures needed to sustain makers.
